<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Measurement omission is the process by which one unites many [[existents]] under a common name, thus forming a concept.<br />
Existents contained under a certain concept, according to [[Ayn Rand]]'s theory share common [[attributes]], but differ in their specific [[measurements]]. To form a proper concept one identifies the [[CCD]] ([[Conceptual Common Denominator]]), which is the set of attributes common to the existents, and omit the specific measurements of these existents, in some case retaining a range of possible measurements.<br />
<br />
[[Concepts]] form the basis of all abstract knowledge. The process of [[concept formation]] and measurement omission is thoroughly discussed in Ayn Rand's [[Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology]].</div>GreedyCapitalist
